Dev Patel Reflected on Hurtful Comments About His Appearance at the Start of His Career

Image
Dev Patel's transformation from gangly coming-of-age actor to dreamy leading man might have seemed seamless, but that wasn't really the case. In a recent New York Times interview, the Green Knight star opened up about his insecurities and the lasting effects of insults he received about his appearance around the time of his acting debut in Skins in 2007. "It was quite brutal," Dev said. "It really took a toll on me personally." Dev recalled perusing chat rooms about the teen drama at the time and coming across hurtful remarks about himself: "There were all these lists of who's the favorite character on the show or who was the best-looking character, and I was always the ugliest, the least attractive. No one liked Anwar. It really took a toll on me personally." When critical and public acclaim later followed, Dev said he struggled with feeling he was worthy of it. "That kind of speaks to my natural low self-esteem," he added....

Of course, the 22-year-old is no stranger to singing as she's been doing so since she was a little girl, showing off her vocal chops on Broadway and social media. "I don't remember ever thinking that music wasn't going to be a part of my life forever, but I never thought I'd be the girl whose face is on every bus and Playbill," Kilgore told Interview magazine in 2018. "My mom says that I sang before I could even talk. I think I just thought singing was a part of being . . . . So then I started pursuing music. Around my freshman year of high school, I turned to theater and plays and musicals. I don't think I could see myself doing anything else." Hopefully, we'll get to hear more of Kilgore's amazing singing voice on Power Book III: Raisin...

A Breakdown of All the Easter Eggs in the Gossip Girl Reboot - You Know You Love It

Image
HBO Max's Gossip Girl reboot is shaking up the Upper East Side. The new series premiered on July 8, and while it features some key differences - including the reveal of Gossip Girl in the very first episode - you can rest assured that it still pays tribute to the original series. Throughout the first four episodes, there are a handful of fun Easter eggs that will get fans very excited, including a few casual name drops and some intentional fashion choices . It's still unclear which stars from the original will make an appearance, although showrunner Joshua Safran is hopeful. " There are more returning characters coming ," Safran told TVLine. "We haven't closed their deals yet, so I say that with a grain of sand and a prayer, but yes, we're going to have a lot of fun." The cast also guaranteed that there will be even more references to the original as the season goes on. While chatting with POPSUGAR ahead of the premiere, Zión Moreno and Savannah ...

Shante, You Stay: Here Are the Queens Still Competing on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 6

Image
It's amazing that after 12 years of RuPaul's Drag Race , host RuPaul is still able to keep the fans (and the queens) guessing. Season six of All Stars , which premiered on June 24, wasted no time in putting the queens to the test with some next-level challenges. During "All Star Variety Extravaganza," each of the queens was tasked with showing off their skills in a talent show. While some of the talents might've fallen a little flat on stage, others had us wanting more - we're talking about Jan's amazing vocal performance and A'Keria C. Davenport's dazzling dance routine. If the queens thought they'd get a break from episode two, "The Blue Ball" showed just how wrong they were. Some of the outfits proved that some of them should've spent more time on sewing lessons. Episode three, "Side Hustles," saw the queens split into teams as they created a commercial to try to sell services for Rent-a-Queen, Drag Fixers, and Drag...

Never Have I Ever . . . Wanted to Be More Like Devi Vishwakumar

Image
A lot of people consider Devi Vishwakumar of Never Have I Ever to be a problematic character. She lies, hurts the people she loves, and makes incredibly selfish decisions - that much is true. However, there is something to be said about authenticity when it comes to the character of Devi in that she is rarely anyone but herself. She's unapologetic (mostly) and unafraid of being her true self, no matter how culturally inappropriate or frowned upon that may be. It's for that reason that while watching the new season of Never Have I Ever , I found myself feeling jealous of Devi and wishing I had been more like her when I was her age. I was born in the UK, and I've spent the majority of my life in a South Asian household, bar a three-year gap where I lived in Southampton with my university housemates and my current setting in my own flat. Throughout my childhood and my teenage life, I'd say that my parents were a reasonable level of strict - definitely more so than Devi...

Allow Dua Lipa and Pop Smoke's New Video to Take You Back in Time to Regency Extravagance

Image
Pop icon Dua Lipa is back in a brand-new video for Pop Smoke 's posthumous track, "Demeanor," which the singer heavily features in. After watching the video in full (at least three times to soak it all in, of course), we can't help but think it screams one thing: serious Bridgerton vibes. The video opens with a shot of a glamorous Lipa, transformed into what can only be described as an 18th-century goddess. We see her applying makeup in a swanky mirror and wearing an outfit seemingly inspired by the latest Regencycore trend . The video continues to follow Lipa as she drinks and dances the night away at a lavish ball with plenty of guests, all while Pop Smoke is getting more and more lifelike in an enormous painting. No detail was spared when it came to the fashion or the set, seeing each person at the banquet wearing embellished costumes and hairstyles. We must admit, our eyes were firmly on Lipa at the ball, though that might've been because there were a tot...
